Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

vpaulve: Not really, only one hour. My wife is angry :(
Bummer, but that's an understandable issue me on the other hand no wife to worry about. So it's video games and no self control on purchasing games I don't need... What am I doing to myself?!?... I already have a backlog of 100+ games *sigh* I'll never finish them all..

15 minutes around 50 copies, if it keeps selling at the same speed it should take around 2 hours before the next one comes.
I get a bit nostalgic every time i see a comment about Jack Keane. Keane makes me think of the old Commander Keen games. Loved playing those games as a kid.
Thanks for info.

Yeah I remember those. Good times. I was in high school.

Well....I see everyone's reactions here and my own...that saying is not true at this point....zzzzz.........
I am watching Kikoskia's LP of Baldurs Gate to pass the time. God his voice acting always surprises me. Love it when he voices Xzar. XD
I'm betting there are people who have actually bought a game solely because it wasn't selling and was taking up time. If that is the case, perhaps this was a good idea for GoG after all.
Damn, we're fast closing in on 20k posts!!!
I'd like to not starve but will have to wait until a better deal :/

In the end it doesn't really matter.At least not to GOG.They know they this promo will eventually sell out.Just a question of time.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the reason for the promo. They've done other insane marketing stunts before...remember that time they closed the site when they were moving out of beta? :D
I'm just waiting for HoMM3, come on, it can't be so hard...
